it's not gonna be 142. it'll be 144 or 145. 143 at the lowest.

If Manny can't fight Cotto at 147 or Cotto can't fight at 140, then the fight shouldn't happen. There's nothing wrong with Manny staying at 140, I don't think he has anything else to prove. But to give another fighter an advantage, especially a weight advantage is unfair. We already know Pac can fight with a fighting weight, not weigh-in weight of 147, but I think it would be too much of a drain for Cotto to make 142.
What's wrong with Manny moving up to 147, that's traditionally how it's done if you want to take someone's belt away. I think he has a great chance.
it's worth it imo for cotto.
the money will be more than 2-3 fights with other people.
i just find it funny how people think it's so unfair for cotto to go down in weight a few pounds when manny has to come up in weight so much. it's not like manny is even a natural 140 guy.

I don't think Manny will be happy with this because I don't think he cares what weight it is, but Roach and Arum will probably push for 142-144.
2. Oscar barely re-hydrated up to where people were expecting him to. Instead of rehydrating 8-12 pounds, he only rehydrated a few.
3. Oscar was inactive, and not a top welterweight at the time.
-o-
Cotto makes 147 consistently, Cotto wouldn't come in drained.
Cotto WILL rehydrate up to 156-158.
Cotto is active AND a top welterweight.
It would be bold of Freddie to throw his fighter into the 147 pound division against top dogs.
Would anyone honestly bet against Mosley if he fought Manny? Cotto is capable of losing, but if the fight is at 147...there's a chance he MIGHT lose, but I'd be willing to bet that Cotto takes it. Manny is a phenomenon, but let's not get carried away.

Yeah, sure he already fought at 147.

144 or no fight.
manny is his biggest option but not the only one.... a loose agaisnt manny will be a big hit to cotto stocks.. thats why team cotto should play it safe here.. cos they have like 3 more years in the game...
asking for less than 144 should be a deal breaker....
that will be my advise to cotto.
